Broward College LPN-RN

Can someone answer a few questions for me?
1. What is the difference between the transition and the regular RN program? (other than you need your LPN license). I ask because someone told me its the same thing exact program as the generic program you just start from the 2nd semester.

2. How long is the program i have heard 12, 18months. If you are joining the generic group then i would think the transition would be less than 18 months.

In our group they are the same really. The first semester, generic take process 1 & 2 in the semester. Lpn meet with during that first 8 weeks for something and then they cram those 2 classes into the next 8 weeks. Then for the next semester both generic and lpn are mixed together. Takes the same amount of time.
